The term ‘agriculture’ literally means the science and practices of the cultivation of the soil including the raising of live stock. In economic jargon, the word includes the production and distribution of goods of agriculture origin for consumption by the population at large, domestic or foreign. In this respect it is a complex sector encompassing many products. The understanding of the contribution of agriculture to economy and of their relationship with the growth process of economy is of special significance for setting goals of agriculture development for a region and for designing a strategy for agriculture development.Agricultural development in Western Uttar Pradesh has been characterized by wide disparities. One the one hand there are districts which have experienced a very high level of per capita agricultural output caused by a sustained rise in per hectare agricultural  utput. In view of this it becomes necessary to study the extent of the inequalities in agricultural productivity and to identify the factors underlying this state affairs

The growth of agriculture is prerequisite for overall development of Indian economy. It contributes significantly to the export earnings and affects the performance of other sectors of the economy through forward and backward linkages. The present paper analyses district and regional level disparity in agriculture development in Uttar Pradesh on a number of agricultural parameters. It uses UNDP methodology (subsequently used by a number of others) to standardize various indicators for agricultural attainment in the state of Uttar Pradesh using 13 agricultural development indicators. A composite index has been constructed at the district level and also regional level for two cross-section years 1990-91 and 2008-09. The relative variations and changes in ranks of different districts have been computed during the period under consideration. Evidence shows existence of high and persistent inter-state disparity in agriculture in the state over the years.  The transformation of some districts from the level of relatively underperformer to the rank of better performer and vice versa has been witnessed and explained. The findings encourage the authors to conclude that a more determined effort on the part of the policy makers is needed if the development policy has to be made truly inclusive.

Rural economies in developing countries are often characterized by credit constraints. Although few attempts have been made to understand the trends and patterns of male out-migration from Uttar Pradesh (UP), there is dearth of literature on the linkage between credit accessibility and male migration in rural Uttar Pradesh. The present study tries to fill this gap. The objective of this study is to assess the role of credit accessibility in determining rural male migration. A primary survey of 370 households was conducted in six villages of Jaunpur district in Uttar Pradesh. Simple statistical tools and a binary logistic regression model were used for analyzing the data. The result of the empirical analysis shows that various sources of credit and accessibility to them play a very important role in male migration in rural Uttar Pradesh. The study also found that the relationship between credit constraints and migration varies across various social groups in UP.
